Kale Chips

Ingredients

  • 1 Bunch of Kale
  • 2 Tbs Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt or Seasoning Salt to taste (about 1 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  2. Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into bite size pieces (1 1/2-inch)
  3. Put Kale in large bowl with oil and salt, toss together until Kale is lightly coated with oil & salt
  4. Lay on a baking sheet bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes.
  5. Serve as finger food.
  6. Note: Watch closely the first few times you make the recipe. Sometimes they cook much faster than others & they go from yummy to crumbly pretty quickly. I prefer them undercooked rather than overcooked.
